Thanks Kelly, that was suggested but after searching begonias, we could not find one that matched. Some were close in the foliage and one was close to the flower but none matched the flower and the leaf.

The foliage looked like Begonia 'Cleopatra' or 'Maple Leaf' Begonia but I have not found any that show flowers like what is on this one.

But after saying the above I went back to my pictures to get the one I zoomed in closer of the flowers and realized after cropping, the flowers don't look quite what I thought from standing below and looking way up at them. There is a pinkish hue and not as spray like as I thought.

Now I am thinking Cleopatra begonia. Thanks Kelly, for getting me to take a second look.

Sorry I can't id it for you beyond saying it is supposed to be a begonia. I remember my grandmother having one when I was young.. It was a huge thing that liked very bright light , but not full sun. It's been a long tie since I last saw one .

I went searching for an ID to my begonia, and my eyes went buggy just looking at the different types, not just the individual ones!!! Mine has large round burgundy leaves with similar flowers, though more pink than yours.

they sit in front of a huge picture window that lets in loads of westerly light, but I believe it is the coolness that helps promote the flowers. (at least that's what my mom told me!)

I got mine from one cutting of my mom's that always sat on the front porch beside the front door in an old fireplace grate in the summer, not much sun, and never flowered as far as I know.

In the past 3 years the only time it does not flower is between about dec to Feb. Flowered earlier this year and will re-flower once I put it back outside on my front porch.
